- <modulesummary>A File Transfer Protocol client.</modulesummary>
-
- <description>
-
- <p>This module implements a client for file transfer
- according to a subset of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), see
- <url href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt">RFC 959</url>.</p>
-
- <p>As from <c>Inets</c> 4.4.1, the FTP
- client always tries to use passive FTP mode and only resort
- to active FTP mode if this fails. This default behavior can be
- changed by start option <seealso marker="#mode">mode</seealso>.</p>
-
- <marker id="two_start"></marker>
-
- <p>An FTP client can be started in two ways. One is using the
- <seealso marker="#service_start">Inets service framework</seealso>,
- the other is to start it directly as a standalone process
- using function <seealso marker="#open">open</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>For a simple example of an FTP session, see
- <seealso marker="ftp_client">Inets User's Guide</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>In addition to the ordinary functions for receiving and sending
- files (see <c>recv/2</c>, <c>recv/3</c>, <c>send/2</c>, and
- <c>send/3</c>) there are functions for receiving remote files as
- binaries (see <c>recv_bin/2</c>) and for sending binaries to be
- stored as remote files (see <c>send_bin/3</c>).</p>
-
- <p>A set of functions is provvided for sending and receiving
- contiguous parts of a file to be stored in a remote file. For send,
- see <c>send_chunk_start/2</c>, <c>send_chunk/2</c>, and
- <c>send_chunk_end/1</c>. For receive, see
- <c>recv_chunk_start/2</c> and <c>recv_chunk/</c>).</p>
-
- <p>The return values of the following functions depend
- much on the implementation of the FTP server at the remote
- host. In particular, the results from <c>ls</c> and <c>nlist</c>
- varies. Often real errors are not reported as errors by <c>ls</c>,
- even if, for example, a file or directory does not
- exist. <c>nlist</c> is usually more strict, but some
- implementations have the peculiar behaviour of responding with an
- error if the request is a listing of the contents of a directory
- that exists but is empty.</p>

- <title>FTP CLIENT SERVICE START/STOP</title>
-
- <p>The FTP client can be started and stopped dynamically in runtime by
- calling the <c>Inets</c> application API
- <c>inets:start(ftpc, ServiceConfig)</c>,
- or <c>inets:start(ftpc, ServiceConfig, How)</c>, and
- <c>inets:stop(ftpc, Pid)</c>.
- For details, see <seealso marker="inets">inets(3)</seealso>.</p>
-
- <p>The available configuration options are as follows:</p>
-
- <taglist>
- <tag>{host, Host}</tag>

- <marker id="host"></marker>
- <p>Host = <c>string() | ip_address()</c></p>

- <p>IpFamily = <c>inet | inet6 | inet6fb4</c> </p>
- <p>With <c>inet6fb4</c> the client behaves as before, that is,
- tries to use IPv6, and only if that does not work it
- uses IPv4).</p>
- <p>Default is <c>inet</c> (IPv4).</p>
- </item>
-
- <tag>{timeout, Timeout}</tag>
- <item>
- <marker id="timeout"></marker>
- <p>Timeout = <c>non_neg_integer()</c></p>

- <marker id="dtimeout"></marker>
- <p>DTimeout = <c>non_neg_integer() | infinity</c> </p>
- <p>Data connect time-out.
- The time the client waits for the server to connect to the
- data socket.</p>
- <p>Default is <c>infinity</c>. </p>

- <item>
- <marker id="progress"></marker>

- <p><c>InitProgress = term()</c></p>
- <p>Default is <c>ignore</c>.</p>
- </item>
-
- </taglist>
-
- <p>Option <c>progress</c> is intended to be used by applications that
- want to create some type of progress report, such as a progress bar in
- a GUI. Default for the progress option is <c>ignore</c>,
- that is, the option is not used. When the progress option is
- specified, the following happens when <c>ftp:send/[3,4]</c> or
- <c>ftp:recv/[3,4]</c> are called:</p>
-
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>
- <p>Before a file is transferred, the following call is
- made to indicate the start of the file transfer and how large
- the file is. The return value of the callback function
- is to be a new value for the <c>UserProgressTerm</c> that will
- be used as input the next time the callback function is
- called.</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(InitProgress, File, {file_size, FileSize})
- </c></p>
- </item>
-
- <item>
- <p>Every time a chunk of bytes is transferred the
- following call is made:</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, {transfer_size, TransferSize})
- </c></p>
- </item>
-
- <item>
- <p>At the end of the file the following call is
- made to indicate the end of the transfer:</p>
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, {transfer_size, 0})
- </c></p>
- </item>
- </list>
-
- <p>The callback function is to be defined as follows:</p>
-
- <p><c>
- CBModule:CBFunction(UserProgressTerm, File, Size) -> UserProgressTerm
- </c></p>
-
- <p><c>
- CBModule = CBFunction = atom()

-
- <p><c>
- UserProgressTerm = term()

-
- <p><c>
- File = string()
- </c></p>
-
- <p><c>
- Size = {transfer_size, integer()} | {file_size, integer()} | {file_size, unknown}
- </c></p>
-
- <p>For remote files, <c>ftp</c> cannot determine the
- file size in a platform independent way. In this case the size
- becomes <c>unknown</c> and it is left to the application to
- determine the size.</p>
-
- <note>
- <p>The callback is made by a middleman process, hence the
- file transfer is not affected by the code in the progress
- callback function. If the callback crashes, this is
- detected by the FTP connection process, which then prints an
- info-report and goes on as if the progress option was set
- to <c>ignore</c>.</p>
- </note>
-
- <p>The file transfer type is set to the default of the FTP server
- when the session is opened. This is usually ASCCI mode.
- </p>
-
- <p>The current local working directory (compare <c>lpwd/1</c>) is set
- to the value reported by <c>file:get_cwd/1</c>, the wanted
- local directory.
- </p>
-
- <p>The return value <c>Pid</c> is used as a reference to the
- newly created FTP client in all other functions, and they are to
- be called by the process that created the connection. The FTP
- client process monitors the process that created it and
- terminates if that process terminates.</p>

- <title>Getting Started</title>
-
- <p>FTP clients are considered to be rather temporary. Thus,
- they are only started and stopped during runtime and cannot
- be started at application startup.
- The FTP client API is designed to allow some functions to
- return intermediate results. This implies that only the process
- that started the FTP client can access it with
- preserved sane semantics.
- If the process that started the FTP session
- dies, the FTP client process terminates.</p>
-
- <p>The client supports IPv6 as long as the underlying mechanisms
- also do so.</p>
-
- <p>The following is a simple example of an FTP session, where
- the user <c>guest</c> with password <c>password</c> logs on to
- the remote host <c>erlang.org</c>:</p>
- <code type="erl"><![CDATA[
- 1> inets:start().
- ok
- 2> {ok, Pid} = inets:start(ftpc, [{host, "erlang.org"}]).
- {ok,<0.22.0>}
- 3> ftp:user(Pid, "guest", "password").
- ok
- 4> ftp:pwd(Pid).
- {ok, "/home/guest"}
- 5> ftp:cd(Pid, "appl/examples").
- ok
- 6> ftp:lpwd(Pid).
- {ok, "/home/fred"}.
- 7> ftp:lcd(Pid, "/home/eproj/examples").
- ok
- 8> ftp:recv(Pid, "appl.erl").
- ok
- 9> inets:stop(ftpc, Pid).
- ok
- ]]></code>
- <p> The file
- <c>appl.erl</c> is transferred from the remote to the local
- host. When the session is opened, the current directory at
- the remote host is <c>/home/guest</c>, and <c>/home/fred</c>
- at the local host. Before transferring the file, the current
- local directory is changed to <c>/home/eproj/examples</c>, and
- the remote directory is set to
- <c>/home/guest/appl/examples</c>.</p>
